Water bills are going to cost more this year.
The City’s budget includes a 3.48 percent increase to water.
City staff say our water bills will continue to go up each year by 3 percent as long as the City is still borrowing money to fund the department’s ongoing capital improvements.
Another 30-thousand dollars is going towards offering a special program for low income seniors who have high water bills because they didn’t notice they have leaky toilets and taps.
